Arsenal are set to sell a number of their homegrown stars this summer as the likes of Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson gear up to leave Arsenal.

Nketiah is reportedly close to a move to Marseille, while Leicester City are keen on Nelson.

Emile Smith Rowe is another homegrown Arsenal star who is said to be close to a departure.

Fulham are said to be close to reaching an agreement with Arsenal to sign Smith Rowe, with a £35m move touted.

However, as with many transfers these days, that fee won’t be entirely paid up front, and Arsenal will only receive a partial sum this summer.

How much Arsenal will receive for Emile Smith Rowe

Smith Rowe is set to leave Arsenal in a deal worth £35m.

However, according to Sky Sports, Arsenal will receive £27m of that fee up front with a further £8m in performance related add-ons.

That is still a very good deal for Arsenal for a player who has barely kicked a ball for the last two years.

Indeed, while Smith Rowe is a huge talent, he’s been struggling with injuries for a long time now, and shifting a player with that sort of injury record for a big fee is often an issue.

Arsenal should be able to spend

Arsenal are set to receive £27m up front for Smith Rowe, and when you add that to the fees they will likely receive for Nketiah and Nelson, you have to assume that they will have a healthy transfer kitty.

Indeed, the Gunners’ move for Riccardo Calafiori is set to cost just a touch over £40m, so you would have to imagine there’s going to be plenty of room to continue to spend.

With a new midfielder and a new attacker on the agenda, Arsenal could still have more transfer excitement ahead of them.
